QUINCY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veridium,
a leader in strong authentication solutions using biometrics instead of
passwords and tokens, today announced that a multinational Swiss bank is
deploying its VeridiumID
platform across their entire enterprise to ensure convenient, fast and
secure identity verification. Veridium’s single-step, multi-factor
biometric authentication will be deployed to seamlessly authenticate
users without the use of passwords, tokens or swipe cards to connect to
Microsoft Active Directory and Citrix
environments.

“Financial service companies around the globe need the strongest
cybersecurity possible to protect confidential and valuable information,
all while making their workforce more productive,” said James Stickland,
CEO, Veridium. “This global customer win is a true testament to the need
for stronger and more user-friendly authentication in the financial
services industry. Using Veridium’s platform, the only things your
employees need to protect their data are their smart phones and
biometrics – cutting the total cost of ownership of traditional
two-factor authentication (2FA) solutions while increasing security.”

Veridium’s software-only biometric authentication platform will be
deployed to protect the company’s workforce — increasing security and
the productivity of its employees by cutting down on the time and
expense of password resets and help desk calls. Regardless of where
employees log in, they will have the same, simple, log-on experience:
their username and biometrics.

VeridiumID’s Active Directory integration module, verified as Citrix
Ready®, is the first software-only solution that seamlessly
integrates into Citrix
StoreFront, NetScaler, ShareFile and Citrix Cloud environments,
enhancing security when authenticating against both Active Directory and
Microsoft Azure, minimizing the risks of compromised credentials and
increasing productivity by providing fast and secure access to
employees' systems and accounts.

Veridium is a leader in the development of “strong authentication”
solutions using biometrics instead of traditional passwords, PINs and
tokens. Powered by an unmatched legacy of IP and R&D, our software
increases security, improves convenience and reduces fraud at a lower
total cost of ownership than traditional multi-factor authentication
(MFA) solutions. Veridium has offices in the U.S., U.K. and Romania. For
